Using the Merge Tool

Test creators can enable Direct Launching or set Expiration Dates to enforce fair test conditions and protect leaderboard integrity. • Creating a Fresh Practice Copy: If you want to practice an expired test or re-attempt a test with Direct Launching enabled, use the Merge Tool to generate a fresh practice copy of that paper. • Leaderboard Protection: Practice attempts created via the Merge Tool allow full access to test content, but scores from these practice copies are not submitted to the public leaderboard.

The Merge Tool was originally created to give you complete flexibility over test paper composition: • Merge Multiple Papers: Select multiple test papers to combine questions into a single comprehensive revision exam. • Trim Test Content: Select specific questions or sections from a paper to decrease overall test length and focus strictly on key topics.

Inside the Merge modal, access powerful organization and test generation tools: • Subject Categorization: Categorize question sections by subject (works for tests generated on NewtCBT since they include chapter/subject analysis metadata). • Chapterwise Test Generation: Filter questions by specific chapters to generate focused chapterwise revision tests. • Create Multiple Tests & Bundling: Generate multiple test papers at once from selected question pools and save them together into a single structured test bundle.

The second bar/tab in the Merge workspace is dedicated to Hosting Live Tests: • Synchronized P2P Exam Rooms: Host live exams over P2P where all participating students start the test at the exact same time. • Automatic Direct Launching: Live hosted tests automatically have Direct Launching enabled to ensure a synchronized, fair, and tamper-proof exam session for all participants.
